An Express Train Dashes Into a Creek
A Woman to the Rasnna

DENVER, August 25th.-An accident occurred
to the East bound Union Pacific Express at Sand
Creek bridge ten miles east of here at 10 O. clock
last night, resulting in the death of the engineer
Masterson, and the serious wounding of two or
three traln-men. The Union Pacific and Bur
ington bridges cross this sandy creek almost par
allel and within few feet of each other When
the engineer of the Union Pacific train, which
leaves here about thirty minutes ahead of the
Burlington, was within a few feet of the bridge
he was horritied to see that flood in the early
part of the evening had washed the middle see
ton away.
The fireman jumped into the stream, and was
taken out half an hour later in all unconscious
condition, and may die. MaSterson grabbed the
lever and reversed the engine Just as she
plunged into the water, with the baggageca
on top. His body was buried in the sand and
completely submerged in the sand.
Beggageman Breedlove was badly injured by
falling trunks.
An old German woman living near by heard
the cries of the frightened people and rushed
out with lantern and stopped the approaching
express on the Burlington line within few
feet of the bridge, thereby probably saving
other lives, as the bridge of that road was also
in dangerous condition.
A young fellow by the name of Beander, who
was stealing a ride on the front end of the bag
gage-car at the time of the accident was found
near the bank of the creek early This morning
badly scalded about the chest and with his hip
badly crushed. He was taken to his fathers
residence in this city, but died at noon.

This is not merely statement. but a fact estab-
lished by our sales, in hundreds of instances of

Copyright, 1851 by tie California Associated Press.
SAN DIEGO, August 25th.-A suit for divorce
was commenced IN the superior Court to-day
that in some respects resembles the Sharon Hill
case III San Francisco, and like that famous liti-
cation, promises to furnish food for the gossips
for some time to come Already quite n Num-
OF which tells a portion of story of one of the
strangest unions on record.
The parties TO the action are W B. Stewart
who is well-known throughout Southern Cali
fornia as capitalist-and Sarah Stewart his
wife. II IS the latter who sues through her at
torneys, Stewart & Barham for dissolution of
the m arriage tie. and in making w. b. Stewart
the defendant she charges him with all sorts of
offenses. The suit is based on the ground of
cruelty.
The complaint charges that defendant beat
and kicked her and twice compelled her to sub
NIT to malpractice. He also eSsayed and offered
her money to confess that she had committed
adultery with prominent physician and other
young men about town.
The marriage was not of the prescribed
character. The parties, according to the
womans story, simply declared themselves man
and wife. Sarah Davis was not of the same So
cial standing that Stewart moved in. She was
a plain Irish girl, and prior to the making
OF the alleged marriage contract had acted
as housekeeper for Stewards brother, and
subsequently filled a similar position
for the defendant. On April 1st last Stew
arts cruelty drove her from his home. The
result of the union is four children three bows
and one girl, aged respectively g., and years
of age, and an infant of five weeks. The com
munity property is valued in excess of $50 900.
The rents and profits of the property are over
81 500 q month.
Stewart has filed an agreement whereby the
woman, in consideration of $500. reneunees all
claims TO the property The woman who neil her

Proposition for Uniform State Laws on

New YORK, August 25th.-[Special Com
menting on the Interstate EXtradition Confer
ence the Philadelphia Times says: The meet
ing of body representing so many States and
Territories to confer upon a subject of vital in
terest to each, suggests the possibility of a
similar method for curing some of the evils
arising from conflicting laws and practices upon
other subjects. Congress has no power to
pass laws declaring what shall constitute a
legal marriage in each State, or to fix the only
legal grounds for divorce; but if, by confer
ence like that now in session in New York a
uniform law upon these subjects could be
agreed upon and afterwards formally adopted
by the Legislatures of the various States a
great gain would result to the cause of social
morality, and consequently good government"

sharp will not go to Sing Sing immediately
dispatch from Whitehall announces that Judge
Potter had granted the petition of Sharps law
yers for a stay in the execution of Judge Bar
retts sentence until the argument on appeal has
been heard and decided. No official announce
ment OF the decision received at the Dis
trict Attorneys office, and no responsible officer
was there TO receive it if it had come. Sharp
himself first heard the news from the reporters
who Hooked into the Ludlow-street Jail as soon
as the dispatch was received.
The importance of the stay is this Sharp can
now secure his release from Jail on bail, pending
his appeal, which will require some time-prob-
ably several months. 1t is doubtful if ever he
is imprisoned again, as he is wealthy enough to
forfeit very heavy bail. He is so old and lntirm
that he fears imprisonment will kill him. Judge
Potter decision is based on the theory that evil
dence important to the conviction, as secured,
was enormously received on the trial.
District Attorney MARITIME does not intend that
Sharp shall get away. He is now out of town.
Discussing the matter several days ago. he said
: In the event of stay being granted, shall
strenuously oppose admitting the defendant to
bail, but If a request of that kind is granted
shall demand that it be placed at 100000, the
sum the defendant was charged with defrauding
the city Of The bail should be such as would
insure defendant being here when wanted"

SAN FRANCISCO, August 25th.-It has been
definitely decided by the railroad authorities
to construct, as soon as the proper working force
is obtainable, large railroad bridge across
Carquinez Straits. The project has been dis
cussed in vague way for some time, but the
rapid development of the upper part of the
State and the increased demands of travel have
forced decision in the matter. The bridge
Will be built at the narrowest point of the
straits from little above Vallejo Junction on
the south shore to about midway between Benz
eia and Vallejo. The ground has all been sur
veyed and the plans drawn for the work lis
probable that a double draw in the bridge W i'll
be made to allow the passage to Port Costa OF
the tall-masted ships of the wheat trade This
bridge will do awsy with the large ferry-boat
Solano, and will be used for the through over
land travel as well as the fast increasing traffic
from the upper valleys.

the name "sarcophagus," literally mean
